July Birchbox

Thursday, July 25, 2013

I can’t believe July is almost over and I’m just now getting
around to talking about my Birchbox. Well, actually I can believe that I haven’t
had time to talk about Birchbox (I might have something keeping me busy!), but
I can’t believe the month is almost over. And I have a one month old – how did
that happen?!?!

But you came here to read about what came in this month’s
Birchbox, so on with the show!!! First things first, if you are curious about
Birchbox or want to start your own subscription, then click this link to check
out their site. This month’s box was terrific!
Maybe because getting the mail these days is VERY exciting to me or because the
box actually rocked. Either way, I’m happy with it.

Here is what was in my box:

1.) Caldrea Body Lotion – I received samples in two yummy
flavors: tea olive lime and coconut fig leaf. Both smell amazing and the lotion
is incredible. It absorbs fast into the skin so you don’t feel all sticky
waiting on your lotion to dry and I definitely had smooth hands and arms all
day long. No need to reapply lotion on my cuticles (the driest part of my
hands).

2.) Tan Towel Self-Tan Towelette – These babies are awesome.
I received a similar sample (different brand) last summer and loved it. This
brand is no different. I prefer the towelettes over a self-tanning lotion because
they go on easier and more evenly. Also, with the lotions you still smell like
self-tanner for days – the towelettes don’t leave you smelling funny. And they
really work. I definitely can tell a difference in the color on my legs.

3. and 4.) Beauty Protector Shampoo and Conditioner – First,
I’m thrilled that I got a matching shampoo and conditioner. Very rarely do you
receive a set. I will definitely be taking these with my whenever I travel. The
shampoo and conditioner were nice, they weren’t amazing, but they definitely
got the job done. I actually preferred the conditioner over the shampoo as it
left my hair feeling very silky while I didn’t notice too much additional
volume from the shampoo. Either way, I’m still happy with them both.

5.) theBalm cosmetics Long-Wearing Powder Staining Blush –
This product means business! When it says that the blush lasts from sunup to
sundown and that a little goes a long way, they aren’t kidding. I appreciate
the long lasting wear as my days don’t leave me with as much primping time as I
used to have. Wearing this product, I don’t have to worry about reapplying
blush at all.

Overall, I really liked this box. What did you get in your
Birchbox? Do you enjoy your Birchbox subscription as much as I do?
